Gadolinium's Main Side Effect - NSF

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) is the condition that's been most prominently linked to exposure to gadolinium in those with kidney problems. NSF is a relatively "new" disease, as the first recorded diagnosis occurred in 1997. Generally, NSF is a systemic fibrosing disorder that develops in the setting of renal insufficiency and can affect the skin.

Common symptoms of NSF include:

• Thickening of the skin
• Hardening of the skin
• Breathing difficulties
• Muscle weakness

Generally, there is no known cure and no known overwhelmingly-positive prognosis for this condition at this time. Those who suffer from NSF are generally sentenced to a lifetime of pain and suffering.
